Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building in the MC-S1 requires patience due to its compact form factor. Start by installing the power supply and storage drives, then mount your motherboard. Ensure your CPU cooler height does not exceed 145mm, as the side panel will not close otherwise. For routine maintenance, remove the side window periodically to blow out any dust buildup from the fan blades and intake areas using compressed air. Ensure the front ARGB button cable is properly routed behind the motherboard tray to prevent tangling with other components. Always confirm your motherboard width is under 200mm before starting assembly to ensure a proper fit within the chassis frame.
